Furcifer campani, commonly known as Campan’s chameleon, the jeweled chameleon, or the Madagascar forest chameleon, is a species of lizard in the family Chamaeleonidae. Furcifer campani is endemic to the central highlands of Madagascar, where it is threatened by bush fires and habitat loss.
Furcifer campani grows to a total length (including tail) of about 5.5 inches. The background color varies from pale green through dark green to brown. There are three pale brown, lateral stripes running along each side of the body and numerous small bright-colored spots between them. The head is often decorated with small red spots. This chameleon has a crest running along its back composed of small projecting granules.
The impressed tortoise (Manouria impressa), occurs in mountainous forest areas in Southeast Asia in Burma, southern China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia. The species has a golden brown shell and skin. Adults are much smaller than their relatives the Asian forest tortoise (Manouria emys), with a maximum size 14 inch carapace length.
The impressed tortoise lives at high elevations, up to 6,600 ft. Its behavior is little known; diet in the wild may consist largely of mushrooms, although bamboo shoots are also eaten. The species is known for being difficult to keep alive in captivity; although its status in the wild is uncertain, it is eaten widely by local people and little captive breeding has occurred.
The granite night lizard (Xantusia henshawi ) is a species of xantusiid lizard endemic to North America.
X. henshawi is found in Mexico in the Mexican state of Baja California, and also in the United States in adjacent southern California.
Granite night lizards are often found on rocky slopes with large exfoliating boulders and abundant crevices, but are occasionally found in coastal sage scrub and chaparral without boulders. They are active in crevices during the day, but move on the surface at night.
The (American) five-lined skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) is a species of lizard endemic to North America. It is one of the most common lizards in the eastern U.S. and one of the seven native species of lizards in Canada.
Other common names include blue-tailed skink (for juveniles) and red-headed skink (for adults).
